precedents

precedents is a command for coding agents from ololand-ai/ololand-plugins. It costs 31 tokens per session (771 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for searching 61,000 public mergers and acquisitions, or M&A, transactions from 2006 through 2026. It returns comparable deals and market context with citations to filings from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find precedent transactions, such as who bought similar companies and the reported enterprise value. Search by text and optionally limit the year range, deal value, completion status, or sector.
Why use it?
It replaces manual searching across public deal records when you need examples of similar company purchases. Filters help narrow results by value, year, outcome, and industry.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

precedents scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Precedent Deals

Search OloLand's public M&A corpus for market context and precedent transactions — "who has bought companies like this, when, and roughly for how much".

Usage

/precedents <query> [min_ev=$M] [max_ev=$M] [from=YYYY] [to=YYYY] [outcome=completed|terminated] [sector=...]

Arguments

  • query (optional) — free text matched against deal summaries and company names.
  • min_ev / max_ev (optional) — enterprise-value band, in millions.
  • from / to (optional) — announcement-year range.
  • outcome (optional) — completed or terminated. Omit for any/unresolved.
  • sector (optional) — one SEC SIC division: agriculture, mining, construction, manufacturing, transport_utilities, wholesale, retail, finance_insurance_real_estate, services, public_administration.

Execution

  1. Call mcp__ololand__search_precedent_deals with the mapped arguments. Cap limit at 25; if the user wants a specific ordinal offset for citations across a multi-step research turn, pass citation_start_number accordingly (shared counter with search_deal_documents).
  2. This is PUBLIC filing data covering the whole market — not this firm's own deals. If the user actually means the firm's pipeline ("our deals like this one"), use /similar-deals or compare_deals_by_attribute instead; do not silently redirect without saying so.
  3. Read the returned corpus_coverage note before drawing any conclusion from an empty result or a null field. A NULL premium, target financial, or multiple means "not disclosed in the source filing," never "zero." Outcome and close data are still being backfilled — a missing outcome means unresolved, not that the deal failed to close.
  4. Do not assert a sector or period has no comparable deals from an empty page alone; report what the query found and what the corpus note says about coverage.

Citing

Every deal with a source filing carries a citation_number — use it for claims about the transaction itself (parties, dates, outcome). For a PREMIUM, MULTIPLE, or TARGET FINANCIAL specifically, cite valuation_citation_numbers[<field>] instead — it numbers the exact filing URL substantiating that value, which is often a different filing from citation_number. Both live in one [N] namespace. A value absent from valuation_citation_numbers, or a deal with no citation_number, has no openable source — do not attach a bracket-number marker to it.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
